What type of forklift is used for storing and retrieving goods on the double-deep pallet racks?

The common pallet racks are designed to be placed in two rows back-to-back. While the double-deep pallet racks increase the utilization rate of warehouse space by arranging the shelves in four rows side by side and sharing the aisles. However, this innovative design of the deep four-row racks also poses unique requirements for the retrieval equipment. How do you retrieve goods from the double-deep pallet racks? Let's find out.

The double-deep pallet racks require telescopic arm forklifts, usually simply referred to as double-deep forklifts, which is the most classic and commonly used solution for such racks. During operation, you need to first retrieve the goods from the outer row, and then the double-deep forklift can cross the first row of storage positions and directly retrieve the goods from the second row.

In scenarios where space is extremely limited and a high storage density is required, the main purpose of designing double-deep pallet racks is to increase the density of storage positions and increase the storage capacity. They are suitable for warehouses and cold storages with high requirements for storage capacity. Thus, compared to ordinary pallet racks, double-depth pallet racks have a larger storage capacity.
